Poisonous

[Neki]

Neko made a pouty face, and put on her puppy eyes.

" Aww, Mick, did you forget about me? You just walk by without even saying hi." She smiled, unable to keep a serious face. She cocked her hip and stood there, waiting. She tapped her foot, as if waiting.

" Evey, can I please put him in a box? I'm sure all the little kids in Spargus would love to try to put him back together again." She smiled evilly, going over to give Mick a hug.

"How's it going man. Rawling, uh..., Vallon." He grasped Mick's hand to shake. The greasy, oilly hand was definately noticable. And so was his leg. Rawling couldn't help but ask.

He let go of Mick's hand and took a step back. "I dont mean to be rude but what happened?"

[Altairas]

Mick letting go of Rawling's hand and giveing Neko her hug. "Your related?" He asked his quiet voice his eyes catching the resemblence in their faces and in their last name. He gave a small smile, he was glad for his sisters friend, remembering how broken she had been in the past. Before the incident.

Mick acnowlaged Rawlings queston. It was natural for people to ask him about his, leg and arm. Curioisty and all that. But the remembering, haveing to relive the whole experiance was very painful. "It's a story." He mumbled leaning agenst the banister of the staircase. "Lets just say it happened, wile I was on the force." He said quietly his blue eyes ice cold with the memorys of his past. Mick was definately a man of very few words.

"Do you guys want a drink or something?" Evey asked before Mick could begin his 'story time' "I got beer!" She asked with a smile.

[adeco]

Rawling sat in a chair. "Oh, well that good enough for me. And yes we are related. It's so wierd how life comes around ya know? One minute I'm in a bookstore to get out of the rain. Next thing I knew I've met my long lost little sister. Man it's nice to kow that you're not alone in your family."

He raised his hand to Evey, "I'll have a whiskey and cola. If you got it, please!"

[Altairas]

Mick nodded and gave a slight nod glad that he understood that his memorys were very painful. As he made his way over to the couch he started limping, the overlapping platelets that made up his knee joint locking. Why does this always have to give me sutch troubble. He thought bitterly to himself calapsing on the couch with a small sigh. "Its weird how that stuff works." He said softly as he peered into the door where his sister had dissapeared.

Evey grabbed a glass and reached up onto the shelf to find where she had put her whiskey. "Nope. . .dust. . . AH HA!" She mumbled grabbing the bottle and pouring it into the glass, mixing it with cola. Smileing at the drink she grabbed the drink along with three beers. "LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"

[adeco]

"w00t!" Rawling exclaimed taking a drink of his drink, "Aw man, Eves! This is perfect. Good combination."

He turned to Mick, "So Mick, You were in the Gaurd right? What was that like?"

[Altairas]

"If there is one thing I can do it's make a drink." Evey said jumping down onto the couch, and put the other two beers on the table. Ravinously she popped the top off of her beer and took a large swig, glad to taste the refreshment after the long day. She noticed Rawling's question about the guard elbowed Mick in the shoulder a bit.

Mick let out a small laugh. This guy just loves to ask questions. Grabbing his beer off the small coffee table by his feet he thought a bit. "Well the training was long, and I would have to say when you get your first set of armor. . . yikes!" He said laughing and takeing a drink of beer. " You wouldn't know those area's could chaffe."

By the precursors! He's talking! Evey thought looking at Mick wide eyed. Surprised that he had even completed a sentence. Maybe being with people, besides me or Neko, is good for him.

[adeco]

Rawling laughed hard about the armor. "HAHAHA! Oh my God! Feel sorry for the guys it is now. Hahaha!"

He took another sip of his drink. And he remembered Starus. "I have a friend in the gaurd. He said he's one of the oldest memebers so you've probably heard of him. His name is Starus Grisum. Ring the bell any?"

[Altairas]

Mick took a deep breath after laughing and composed himself a bit."I think I have." Mick said scratching his head mumbleing the name softly under his breath as he tried to put a face to the name. "I'm sure I saw him around. How did you end up with a friend in the guard?" Mick asked, a small smile on his face as he glanced over to Evey. Something tells me his gets into a lot of trouble.

Evey gave him a small smile back as she listened to the conversation. It was to actually hear Mick talk even if it was in his normal soft voice. She turned her head to Neko who, like her seemed to be quiet. Rolling her eyes she got up, and stood over where Neko was and elbowed her in the shoulder. "The whole finding you long lost bro thing got you worried?" She asked looking over at her, her blue eyes longing for a answer. "I just wanna make sure your ok you know."

[adeco]

Rawling thought a minute. "Well lets just say we met on the battlefield. I was curious enough to go to the Old Town and he was there to take care of some metalheads. I helped out and we both wound up in the hospital."

"Ever since, he's helped me thrhough a lot of jams and I've done a few favors for him. He's not like all the rest. He says he was 'in the crimson guard before it turned crimson.' I don't know. He's funny with words like that." He took another sip.
